Chapter 2 Water Supply System in Buildings (True/False)

The direct water supply system delivers water from the municipal main directly to the fixtures in the building.

• TRUE

• FALSE

An indirect water supply system requires a storage tank to maintain water pressure and provide a buffer for water supply.

• TRUE

• FALSE

In a direct water supply system, water pressure is constant and not affected by the municipal supply fluctuations.

• TRUE

• FALSE

The main supply pipe brings water from the municipal source to the building’s water storage tank.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Water storage tanks in an indirect water supply system are usually located at ground level to facilitate easy access.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A pressurized water supply system uses a pump to ensure consistent water pressure throughout the building.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Gravity-fed systems require that the storage tank be located at a higher elevation than the fixtures to work effectively.

• TRUE

• FALSE

In a direct water supply system, there is no need for a storage tank.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A larger water tank capacity always results in higher water pressure for the building.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Pipes in a water distribution system should be sized based on the expected water demand and pressure requirements.

• TRUE

• FALSE
